Oak Street School consistently underperforms compared to the Plattsburgh City School District and the state of New York in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.89% of 5th-grade students at Oak Street School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 19.72% for the district and 43.68% for the state.

The school also consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Oak Street School has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,292 in the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, its performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1498 out of 2395 New York elementary schools in the 2016-2017 school year to 1838 out of 2445 in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to other nearby schools in the Plattsburgh City School District, such as Arthur P Momot Elementary School, Oak Street School generally underperforms in academic metrics. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Oak Street School (50.72% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
